Inventory boost in Craft constellation

Just like in Skyrim, but in the context of new CP system - why not have an invenotry boost like this:

33 / 66 / 100 slots
for
25 / 50 / 75 Champion Points.

ZOS, care to implement this? Perhaps in the upcoming Craft sub-constellations?

    The more inventory slots - the better, of course, so I'm all for any non-crownstore options

    Not a chance now they've started with the crown-store non-combat inventory pets - the only way we'll see inventory increases in future is via crown store. Maybe sub. Maybe. :(

    Nice idea, though.

    If they did increase inventory this way, I wouldn't think it would be by much (like 5 slots).

    Kinda agree... Crown Store > non-Crown Store upgrade.

    Still, for such a cost - 150 CP and only 15 slots? Yeah... someone could sacrifice a char...

    Why it is impossible in a nutshell :

    1) buy star
    2) fill slots
    3) reskill cp (or even funnier, cp are forcefully removed and refunded because of a patch)
    4) ???

    Would work the same as when you have too much in your bank when ESO+ lapses, it stays there but you can't put in more until you empty it. You'd have to either sell it or put it in the bank or reslot the stars.

    No way they'd do it with the numbers in the OP, but 10/20/30 or 5/10/15/20 at the top of the green tree would be feasible and wouldn't really counteract the inventory pets in any way since it all stacks.

    Id settle for non slottable 10-20-30 for 25-50-75cps
    Call it packmule or hoarder
    remove useless "remove 100 gold of bounty once per day etc" and insert this one.
    Awake, but at what cost

    They’d have to be very careful precisely because of this.

    When they introduced the first indrik morph, and people morphed their Nascents while toons had that mount activated, the Nascent went away — and with it the 60-slot inventory bonus for having a mount activated. The devs clearly just didn’t think to test what would happen if a mount got removed or deactivated and a character’s inventory capacity went below their actual load, because that’s not a situation that can normally happen in the regular course of gameplay. If I remember right, gear was actually lost in those cases, not just hidden until a new mount was selected (or a new Nascent made). They eventually fixed the indrik specifically, but I don’t think they would want to open the door to similar problems (and Support tickets) by introducing an inventory bonus that can be respecced away.

    I didn't know about that Virtus753 - an invaluable remark.

    I do have an idea, two actually, but the 1st is a tempting, albeit costly, way to bypass the inventory limit:

    1) less likely - items exceeding the limit would go to the Mailbox after respec - sure, if someone has 3k gold to send about 30 items to the mailbox...

    - solution to the above - increase the cost of respec to... 6k? 9k? Honestly, how often did you use to respec?

    As for how often one will be likely to respec, well... this we don't know. Yet, the way the future CP system looks, it ensures enough flexibility.

    2) more likely - WARN people of potential consequences (i.e. of deleting the gear permanently)

    #1 Necro, Vamp and Werewolf have skills labelled "Criminal Act", so too this perk could have something like "Danger In case of respec, items are lost.". Extra inventory comes at a price - this is no post-ESO+ boon.

    #2 it's not something one does on a whim...
